My Project

My 6 - 9 graders are unique learners. If I can demonstrate experiments rather than just talk and talk and have them read and read or write and search, it would be much easier if they, after seeing me demonstrate them, 'touch' the experiment, perform themselves, and come up with their conclusions.

I am so excited to see them using the sensors I have listed here and see how real what they read and see in books or videos is.

I aspire to be the teacher that students leave my class discussing with each other about the experiments.

In the next class, they come up with new questions about the phenomenon, ready to explore more.
